Whether we take the case to the United

animation of the record.
Herr Most said:

THE GREAT CRUSH.
There has been no dramatic event in
Minneapolis which was attended with
such terrific rush at the entrances and
upon the streets. Though the open
doors admitted the first spectator at Z
o'clock, and steady stream never
tagged for the succeeding hour and
quarter, there was no intermission in
tended down as far as Seventh street,
and when discharged of their con-
tents they massed on the. other
side as far as Eighth. There
was no confusion or crowding,
but the elegant corridors and glittering
foyer were never other than completely
filled until some time after the curtain
had assembled. AS to the crowd itself.
it filled the great building from or
cheStra to rafterS and that meant nearly
1000 people. AS pretty scene as is
often witnessed it was, just before the
rise of the curtain. The fashion of
evening dress was never so extensively
followed and the gorgeousness of the
lduloS' tOIlCbtcS Was ucFcI 81 uldTkcu.
THE DRAMATIC ATTRACTION
was a fitting inaugural of the beautiful
theater. The engagement of Booth and
Barrett for week is no small under
taking, but if the opening night
be any criterion its success finan-
cially will equal it's success
dramatically The bill was "Julius
Caesar" with Booth cast as Brutus and
Barrett as CaSSiuS, parts which emf
nently fit the respective distinguished
tragedians. 1t was therefore with much
pleasureable anticipation that the
splendid audience faced the
stage. Before the ascent of
the curtain Mayor Ames mounted
the stage and formally opened the
house. He complimented Sackett &
Virgins on their energy and enterprise,
and Congratulated the city on the hand
some theater added to its numerous at
fractions. With a well-timed compli-
ment directed to the tragedians he well
coined the audience and the play pro-
ceeded, The cast was as follows:

MONTANA,S MEMORIAL.

The extra session of the Montan leg
islature, recently adjourned, passed
memorial to be submitted to congress,
worthy of serious consideration. In it
congress is asked to modify the alien
land law sufficiently to exempt min
eral lands from the prohibition against
aliens holding real estate in this coun-
try. The position Montana takes in
the matter has good deal to recon-
mend it.
1t is obviously proper that aliens
should be prevented from acquiring
huge tracts of farming land for the pur-
pose of holding them as a specula ton
and thus putting an obstacle in the way
of the settler, and incidentally retard-
ing the growth of the country and the
development of its material wealth?
But the same objection does not obtain
with regard to mineral lands. Ameri-
can capital is so adversely employed in
other respects that it has been of late
holding aloof from investment in min
ing properties and their development.
Much foreign capital now lying idle
would readily accept investments of this
CudIdClcI Uub lOI lllc pIUulUltOIy law
which no longer allows it to do so. In
Montana alone several millions of dol
lars would have gone into mining prop
critics within year but for the passage
of the alien land law. But now, for lack
of sufficient capital to work it, much of
Montana's mineral wealth lies dormant.
The Montana people claim, and with
a good deal of reason, that there is no
reason why foreign capital should not
be permitted to be invested in mineral
lands, because no hardship is thereby
done any one. Settlers are not OBJ
structed, nor are the interests of Amer
lean investors jeopardized. On the con-
trary, in the opening up of new mines,
which would follow the inflow of for
eign money, employment would be
given to thousands, business of all kinds
in the territory would receive an impe-
tus, and the wealth of Montana would
receive substantial addition.
The advantages of permitting the
holding of mines by foreign companies
would largely outweigh the disadvant-
ages. And since American capital
seems loath to take advantage of the OPP
portunities lying in its way, there does
not seem to be any real cause why the
request which Montana makes of con-
gress should not be granted.

A FINANCIAL FURRY.
New York Short of Cash----The

New OFk Short OF CaSh----Ihe
Money in the West and South.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The street
has been full of the most alarming re-
ports about an impending panic to-day,
and the sensational news has been
telegraphed all over the coun-
try. Unfortunately the anticipations
of a money stringency are undoubtedly
justified. The market is very tight. v.
X. Stevenson, a rich real estate broker
i'll this city, but moreover something of
an alarmiSt, sent the following dispatch
to President Cleveland to-day: I'm
treasury speedily and in vast
quantity, and not i'll the nomi-
nal sums of the past fortnight,
the mercantile commission houses here
will be compelled to continue their
withdrawal of credit and the blame will
rest on you for panic ali over the
country" Bankers and business men
in this city, while recognizing the
seriousness of the situation. believe it
is still within the power of Secretary
Fairchild to remedy the situation.
Fairchild is here tonight, and will con-
fer with responsible business men to-
morrow. The bond purchase has been
over S10.0OO,000 within short time. but
it has not helped the money market to
an appreciable extent. The treasury
paid out about S3,OO00OO for bonds last
week, which was sent to San Francisco,
and did not help matters here. Large
shipments of gold have come in from
Europe ON recent steamers, but the i'll
t1uX has not increased the reserve of
the banks which TODAY hold less
than S4,O0O,OOO above the legal re-
quirements. The money has all gone
West and South. The development there
has been so fast that it has drawn
heavily on the resources of New York.
Usually the money sent those sections
to aid in harvesting the crops returns
in due time, but it is significant fact
that the millions sent out months ago
have not returned.

An adjourned session of the board of
court house commissioners was held in
their rooms in the Window block at 2 p.
m. yesterday. The report of the board
Of appraisers, as already published, was
heard. Objections were heard from G.
F. Sawyer, A. M. Coats, R. P. Russell
and B. d. Warner. The DIRECTORS
claimed that the various property own.
ers were not interviewed by the board
of appraisers, nor any direct attempt
made to purchase the property from
the individual owners; that the commits
sion was incompetent; its appointment
unconstitutional; and its award made
Quate. Several other minor objections
were made. A resolution, offered by G.

F. Sawyer said that he would appeal
the case and would not stand by the
decision of the commission. Some OBJ

5 Albert F. Pray, a son of o. A. Pray,
reported to the police early this morn
ing that about II O'clock last night,
while near the Pray mill, on Fourth

men, who relieved him of S35. They

wounding one of the men in the leg.
The injured man was picked up and

affair is a. peculiar one, and is made
more mysterious by the fact that Pray
did not report the matter until an hour
or two after it occurred.

THE G. AS.

The general passenger agents of the
country's many railroads are a hard
working and brainy lot. That the G..
P. AS. possess an excellently developed
amount of brain force is evident in the
nice discrimination which led them to
choose st. Paul as the place of their
annual meeting, the opening session
occurring this morning; that they are
hard working set any one familiar
with general passenger agents duties
well knows.
Upon his excellence as an executive
officer and his fertility of resources de-
ponds the question as to whether his
road will do a large passenger business
or practically none at all. With sew
eral competing lines running to the
same point, the G. 2. A. must be up
early in the morning to prevent his
rivals from getting ahead of him, and
he must stay up late at night, particu-
larry, when visitor who can control
good deal of business comes within his
baliwick.
Through this sharp competition it be-
comes necessary that the G. p A. should

For that reason the gentlemen who will
assemble to-day could probably dis
count, in general intelligence, alertness
and brilliancy of imagination wide emil

men in the country. To use an express
sion of which metropolitan paper is
fond: There are no flies on the &. P.
AS They aren't still long enough for
any to settle
AS brainy men they can't fail to see
the greatness of st. Paul and the Won
derful promise which the future holds
for the city. AS men anxious to spread
information among their fellowmen
who may have occasion to travel, each
one of the G. p. AS cannot fail to tell
of the glories of this Northwestern won
derland and its metropolis.
Therefore, as business investment
and because they are personally deserv-
ing, we hope st. Paul will give the gen.
eral passenger agents a reception that
will keep them talking many days.

A FATAL DUEL
Fought by Two Prominent Sol
dierS in NJ exicO.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 19.-Military
and political circles are greatly excited
to-day over the result of duel which
took place at o'clock this morning in
one of the barracks in this city.
The principals were Gen. Rocha
and Antonio Gayon, who is chief of
one of the bureaus of the war depart
ment. The trouble grew out of the con-
trOversy over the question of the con-
duct of Lopez at Quertaro and his rela-
tions to Emperor Maximillian. In the
first fire Senior Gayon fell, pierced in the
right side by bullet. He soon
rallied and inquired if the duel could
not proceed, when his seconds and sur
geons replied that it could not. This
afternoon Senior Gayon lies in critical
condition, and is reported to be dying.
He is fifty-eight or sixty years old, and
Gen. Rocha is about ten years his jun
ior. The wounded man has grown up
family. Gen. Rocha was conspicuous
figure in the war against the empire.
His newspaper, Ell Combat, is one of the
most aggressive papers published here.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
Probable Nominees at To-Day's
State Convention.


WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 19.-There
is large crowd of delegates here to at
tend the Democratic state conven-
ton. The indications point strongly
to the nomination of Henry
B. Lowering, of Lynn, for governor, and
Col. Walter E. Cutting, of Pittsield, for
lieutenant governor. The remain
der of the ticket will be the
same as last year with the
exception of treasurer. The delegates at
large to the national conventional are
likely to be Congressman Collins, Col.
Jonas II. French, Hon. George A.
Stearns and Mayor John w.
Cummings, of Fall River. AT
the meeting of the Democratic
state committee this evening the special
committee appointed to ascertain the
publicans holding federal offices
in Massachusetts under the present
administration and the reason for
their retention, made a report. The
committee say: The whole number of
employees in the government service i'll
Massachusetts, including the Mas
sachusetts people in the govern
ment departments at Washington,
is 4,614, of which 3,S2S, or
SO per cent. are Republicans, drawing
in salaries S5,000,000 year. 1t is not
merely that Republicans are found in
civil service, as the Republican press
would have it, but that this considerable
remnant of the Republican machine,
these hide-bound, party paid, offensive
Republicans, spies in the camp still
reaping the reward of their uncivil
service, and from time to time giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, should
be retained to the exclusion of other citizens
more deserving and equally competent. This
is the nat ure and extent of our complaint.

serious. Thus it is that people can be
